Having a previous exposure to horseback riding is, by no means, mandatory to either hire a horse or enjoy the bliss of beach riding. If you want to do it, there are many horseback riding tour operators who arrange for everything you require. The tours are arranged for individuals as well as for groups. Most of the tour packages are inclusive of lunch and drinks.
You can ride up to the mountains and down the beaches and get amazing glimpse of the countryside. Riding among the ever-green rain forests allows you to have a closer view of the diverse wildlife. Guided horseback riding tours allow you to interact with the professional guides and upgrade knowledge about the bio diversity. It is also a good way to get acquainted with the local life of Santa Teresa. You can choose between morning and sunset rides. Santa Teresa is also known for its beautiful sunsets. Many tourists gather here to watch late surfing, cool breezes and sunsets.
